IN 2014 WE SAID "REMEMBER MISSISSIPPI" NOW WE MUST ACT TO "REMEMBER MISSISSIPPI"


"Cindy Hyde-Smith has been lying to the Mississippi voters, telling them that she can't debate because of her schedule, when in reality she's not doing it because  she lacks the ability to answer difficult questions about her years as a DC lobbyist and her Democrat past"


Conservative candidate  Chris "Remember Mississippi" McDaniel comments on the Special Election campaign for a US Senate seat in Mississippi


In 2014 veteran Washington insider Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi) was forced into a primary runoff with State Senator Chris McDaniel.   The younger more conservative McDaniel looked like the winner but the dirty tricks were rolled out by Haley Barbour and the GOP insiders.

Barbour's tactics helped defeat Ronald Reagan in his quest for the Republican Presidential Nomination at the 1976 convention in Kansas City.   The process was something Reagan called "the world with its pants down".

Money was poured into Democrat operatives in the African-American community and ads rolled out designating Chris McDaniel as a racist.

The disgust with the Republican Establishment led to a battle cry of "Remember Mississippi" as McDaniel was trashed and outvoted by the importation of Democrat voters into the Republican primary runoff.

Cochran won, but his age and health would not be allowing him to serve a full term so he bowed out  early this year  and Governor Phil Bryant opted to appoint Cindy Hyde-Smith as US Senator in April.

Hyde-Smith was a former Democrat who supported Hillary Clinton for President in 2008, then opted for a party switch  to Republican so she could run for statewide office as Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce. 

Then it was decided to create a special election set up that would create an "Open Primary" on November 6th with a runoff of the two top vote getters three weeks later.

Its in this system that two Democrats including former Clinton Administration Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy and the Conservative Republican Chris McDaniel were put into a race with the appointed  US Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.

This enabled Hyde-Smith to be part of the mid-term general election campaign as an incumbent and  be endorsed by President Donald J, Trump.

Trump told the crowd that a vote for Cindy Hyde-Smith was a vote for him  but the hall was filled with many wearing red t-shirts saying "Trump Voter for Chris McDaniel".

McDaniel has been pointing out Hyde-Smith's record as a "Republican" including advocating to ban firearms on state properties under her control as Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce  and her vote last May against balancing the federal budget.

During the campaign Hyde-Smith has refused to debate McDaniel and other opponents going as far as to claim McDaniel might not be "civil" during a debate.

Hyde-Smith has even said:

"We won't be bullied"


in response to McDaniel's calls for a debate.

It looks like a vote for Cindy Hyde-Smith is a vote for the "swamp" but a vote for Chris McDaniel will vindicate a true conservative who's been demonized by the "swamp" in the worst possible way and send the Establishment a message.
